      Infection liability, gotta be old enough to sign that you won’t sue for infection or disfigurement.

          Parent can let you get anything if they let you. You mist be 18 to do it for yourself.

            Sure but it’s actually legal, a parent can’t legally buy you cigarettes or alcohol for example.

              parents can booze-up their kids in wisconsin, as long as it’s in their presence.

                I think that’s most states. As long as the parent is still responsible for the kid drinking and they stay home.

                  I can guarantee you that is not true, at least not in every state.

                    I can guarantee that more than half of the states allow minors to drink in the presence and with the consent of a parent or legal guardian .

        Suing for infection? It’s practically impossible to prove an infection was from an error by the piercer. It’s more likely the person just didn’t clean it properly.

          In the US, nearly anyone can sue for nearly anything. It doesn’t mean that they would win, but it can make life very painful for the party being sued.

      You can but you’d need to have a parent present to give permission. Or…you can be me in your teens and just do all your own piercings.
